On some suse installs, I couldn't get the install to work because it said that ReiserFS, which I use for all partitions, needed more space. It accepted smaller sizes for ext2 and ext3, but I prefer ReiserFS. Don't remember how much it required, but my other boxes are set all above 100 MB, and I'm not worried about 30-40 extra MB, I'm worried about wasting space with 1 and 2 GB partitions.
My friend has just emailed back saying that Debian doesn't use opt at all, that's a quirk of suse, so I'm changing the setup to add more to var, where he says the deb files go (var/cache/apt/archives), so I'm looking at this: / 2 GB /boot 140 MB /opt 500 /tmp 1 GB /usr 2 GB /var 2.76 GB /home 5 GB/balance swap 500 MB Should swap be larger with 128 MB Ram, dealing with 700 MB+ iso images (my burner is on this box). Did I make opt too small? Thanks again Bing. On Wednesday 04 June 2003 16:13, Jose wrote: > Hi, > > lists1 wrote: > >Here's my partition scheme.
